Answer 1

`Selling\ Price = 12b(1.55)`

Explanation:

Given

`Cost\ Price = \$12`

`Selling\ Price = 55\%\ more`

Required

Write an expression for the selling price for b birdbaths

This selling price for 1 birdbath is calculated as:

`Selling\ Price = Cost\ Price + 55\% * Cost\ Price`

Substitute 12 for Cost Price

`Selling\ Price = 12 + 55\% * 12`

Factorize:

`Selling\ Price = 12(1 + 55\%)`

Express percentage as decimal

`Selling\ Price = 12(1 + 0.55)`

`Selling\ Price = 12(1.55)`

For b birdbaths, the selling price is:

`Selling\ Price = 12(1.55) * b`

`Selling\ Price = 12b(1.55)`

The options are not clear; However
`12b(1.55)` answers the question.
